For most people, roulette conjures up glamorous images of luxurious casinos, plush locations, Bond-esque boys, blinged-up babes and infuriatingly suave croupiers. Electrocution, on the other hand, conjures up images of Number 5, the shocking demise of Jaws 2, shoddy wiring and licking 9V batteries on the playground. Worlds apart, you might think...
But just like countless other ostensibly contradictory items - peanut butter and jelly, biscuits and gravy, Bert and Ernie, Ebony and Ivory - the two have now been ingeniously thrown together to form one phenomenally enjoyable distraction. Shocking Roulette is exactly that. Shocking and, uh, roulette. The idea is genius: up to four players insert a fingertip into one of the sleek electric chambers and then somebody presses the start button. This sets into motion a butt-clenchingly tense countdown sequence of beeps and lights that realistically imitate the sound of the ball on a traditional roulette wheel as it bounces towards its final resting place.
When the countdown stops, this malicious little plaything randomly delivers a full-on electric shock to one unlucky player. Well, it's more of a jolt really, but it's certainly enough to grab your attention and cause you to wince as you let loose with some choice commentary. At only 5½" wide and 2½" high, Shocking Roulette is small enough to take down to the bar, making it the greatest method ever invented for deciding whose round it is/who smells/who chats with the tattooed barman/who stands on their chair, strips and sings "Oops I Did It Again" in the style of Joe Piscopo.
It's also a fantastic way to weed out the wimps, as you'd be amazed at the amount of people who pull out at the last second just to avoid a harmless jolt from three AAA batteries. Shocking Roulette has incalculable amusing uses - you'll never have to spin the bottle, flip coins or draw straws again. And let's be honest, any game that refers to participants as "victims" rather than players has got to be worth a look. A total buzz!

I bought this for a friend's birthday. The first shock certainly is exactly that, but after that you quickly get used to the power of the shock, even on high level and to be honest it isn't really too much fun after that. Go for the more powerful 'lightning reaction' instead.Joe, Blackpool - Jan '05
Possibly the best game money can buy. Absolutely hillarious. Brings out the sadist in everyone who plays

Guess who was the first victim, myself, but what a laugh - the whole office is totally crazy about this some people actually jump up as another person gets shocked. Double the fun - get one !Dave, Luxembourg - Apr '04
What a laugh! My mate bought me this great game for my birthday and so I decided to take it to my birthday celebration down the pub. The shock does not really hurt but is enough to make you jump and make your nervous when the machine is deciding who it's next victim will be. My boss even wants to get one....for when his family come down to visit! Great laugh, must buy.Chris Ritson, Trowbridge, Wilts - Feb '04
I hate this thing. Me and my sister tested one in a shop and she got the first shock. To make sure I got the next one she set it to two player mode and insisted I shove a finger in each slot. Bad move. Sis was almost hysterical with laughter. What a nasty little gadget.Phil Marshall, Scunthorpe - Jan '04
Awesome game. My friends and I no longer have any problems deciding who's going to get late night munchies. Just make sure no one that's playing is touching anyone else that's playing. The shock will actually travel through people.Chris, Germany - Nov '03
Six of my family played this game for over 3 hours on Saturday night and we could not stop crying (with laughter). The "Shock" doesn't really hurt :-) but the sheer anticipation, when everyone is staring each other down wondering who the "victim" is going to be is awsome and great fun. It almost made my poor dad jump through the patio doors on a couple of occassions. Great fun for all the family (except younger kids) and I would definitely recommend it. The best £15 I've ever spent.Steven, Hamilton - Nov '03
This product KICKS!! I think its good because it has everything you need for a bit of fun and you can use it everywhere.Mellor-man, UK - Oct '03
This is truly an excellent gadget. Our friday nights consist of drinking tea and watching DVDs, but always the problem was - who is going to make the tea? Well this little baby has sorted that dilemma for us. The person to get shocked the most makes the tea! I also found myself taking it into meetings at work as a sort of "warm-up" game - ha! If you dont like a bit of pain - avoid it, as it packs a nasty little zap! K.S, London - Oct '03
